Back to All Events
In a city still reckoning with the human, civic, and economic consequences of Operation Metro Surge, a group of Minnesota artists is asking a question that reaches far beyond the state: When official accounts and lived experience collide, who will preserve what happened?
The Radical Act of Having Each Other's Back brings together more than two dozen Minnesota artists working across painting, sculpture, photography, installation, fiber, mixed media, graffiti, and public art.
The exhibition confronts the fear and disruption produced by the federal immigration enforcement operation while documenting something less frequently captured in official reports: the extraordinary ways communities organized to protect one another.
